• A Venue for weekly support meetings

• Furniture Tables and chairs

• Transport/ Vehicle ideally adapted for stroke survivors and Driver

• Refreshments

• Provision of access to some Therapies, i.e. OT, Physio and Speech and assistive devices.

• Some Care givers if not attending with the stroke survivor

• And most Importantly Stroke Survivors to attend.

Additional Support skills are:

• Budgeting

• Organising a working committee to achieve the above

• Support for local fund raising activities.
